About Legora

Legora is the world’s first truly collaborative AI for lawyers. Embedded in the everyday work of thousands of lawyers across nearly 20 countries and over 250 clients, Legora helps them work smarter, more accurately, and focus on what matters most: high-impact, strategic work.

We’re scaling fast - and we’re looking for someone who’s ready to keep pace with the complexity that comes with international growth. That’s where you come in…

As our new Payroll Specialist, you’ll play a crucial role in making sure our people are paid correctly and on time, across multiple markets.

This isn’t your standard in-country payroll role. We operate across Europe, the UK, and the US—and you’ll be at the center of it all. You’ll own the coordination and execution of payroll in multiple jurisdictions, navigating different systems, regulations, and compensation models (commissions included). You’ll work hand-in-hand with our external providers and in-house stakeholders to make the process smooth and predictable for every Legorian.

If you’re someone who thrives on complexity, likes digging into detail, and feels comfortable fielding payroll questions from anywhere in the org - this role is for you.

What you’ll do:

  • Manage monthly (and bi-weekly where applicable) payroll operations across Europe, UK, and US - working with both internal stakeholders and external providers

  • Ensure accuracy and compliance in all payroll processes, including commissions and variable pay

  • Taking lead on statutory requirements (e.g. pension, insurances, local compliance/requirements etc.) for each of our markets and ensuring that we are compliant and in line with industry standards.

  • Support immigration, visa processes, insurance – and similar HR-ops related questions

  • Act as the go-to person for payroll-related queries across the organization

  • Work closely with the Head of Finance, the Head of Operations and the People team embedding fully in the Finance team

  • Handle payroll audits, reporting, and documentation with precision and foresight

  • Continuously improve our global payroll setup and ensure it scales with us

We think you’ll love this role if you:

  • Have 4+ years of international payroll experience across multiple countries

  • Have worked in a fast-moving, international environment (ideally in tech or startups)

  • Have direct experience managing commission schemes—this is a big plus

  • Are confident and approachable—people naturally turn to you for answers

  • Are comfortable juggling multiple systems, deadlines, and stakeholders at once

  • Love structure but know how to build it where none exists yet

What’s in it for you:

  • A team of experienced operators who are passionate about what they do

  • The chance to shape and scale payroll at one of Europe’s most exciting growth companies

  • Competitive compensation and benefits, tailored to your location
